Personal comments
Would have loved more contact with the locals in order to improve on my language skills. And the teachers should probably have demanded us foreigners to write our exams and essays in French but with a milder rate of evaluation so that we really would have dared to. Now we got better grades by writing in English.

More, definitely. You don't want to count your pennies when you're abroad. That you can do prior to leaving or when back at home.

It seemed nice and you got to know the other students better, but there were too few rooms, so we who came from an EU country didn't have that good chances of getting a room, as it turned out.
